South Sudan: SPLM-IO leader and FVP Dr. Riek Machar arrested tonight

South Sudan security forces have moved to arrest First Vice President and main armed opposition leader Dr. Riek Machar, Sudans Post has learned. Sources with direct knowledge say Machar’s bodyguards have been disarmed and withdrawn, and a high-level security delegation is currently meeting him to formally inform him of the arrest. The delegation includes the head of the National Security Service, Minister of Defends and Veterans’ Affairs and the SSPDF Chief of Defense Forces” (Sudans Post, 26.03.2025).

The continued pursuit of the SPLM-IO are now in full effect. The SPLM-IG has already targeted the IO and arrested several high-ranking officials. They have completely and single-handedly shown their character and their goals of doing such. As they are claiming the IO is behind the Naath White Army and haven’t considered the implications of its actions.

J1 and allies are now altering everything. The R-ARCSS is dead. It was already in a bad state. There was little to no movement. The glacier slow implementation and prolonged interim period only caused more friction, as the personification of the state was from the President and Commander-in-Chief. Who in his capacity haven’t been able or had the sincere concern with building state institutions, but offering jobs for the boys.

That is what we are seeing now. The usage of the SSPDF and UPDF as means to an end. This is warlords issuing more war to settle grievances. This is taking it to the battlefield and ensuring instability. It isn’t talking or negotiating. No, this is just using force and deliberately undermine the others. That’s what the J1 is doing and he has the arrogance of doing so, because the UPDF mercenaries are carrying the have lifting. They are bombing and killing on his behalf…

That’s why they would dare to challenge the FVP and IO leader in this manner. Because they have the big guns and have the ability to do so. Regardless, of if Machar has done anything wrong this time around. He is being blamed and now they are capturing him. After they have gone after the people surrounding him and his party.

It just shows that the R-ARCSS isn’t worth the papers it is written on. The SPLM-IG isn’t concerned or cares about that. They can just throw it all away and think this use of force can solve anything. This is practically trying to consolidate power without the usage of protocol or negotiations, as we know this government and interim administration isn’t elected anyway.

President Kiir and J1 is walking and dancing towards war. They are beating the war drums and doing it so loudly too. This they started with a bang. There is no slowing down. They are just deciding it and ordering it to happen.

The arrest of Dr. Riek Machar isn’t just a sign, but an act. The last straw. They are pulling all the levers and sooner or later the whole dam will burst. Peace.

Opinion: “Kabobi” lives rent free in Muhoozi’s mind… Part III

“Killing Kabobi is an easy job! Very easy. He says he likes boxing. I invite him to a boxing match” (…) “Kabobi is going to get the beating of his life soon! I will promote soldiers who kills him” (…) “Tell Kabobi I didn’t beat him enough in Arua! I’m coming for him again. This time I’ll beat him properly” (…) “I won’t stand in an election with Kabobi! I will simply shoot him dead” – Commander of Defence Forces (CDF) Gen. Muhoozi Kainerubaga (25.03.2025).

The saga continues of the Drunk Master and his fairytales from his chambers. As his a Senior Presidential Advisor and the CDF of the Uganda People’s Defence Forces (UPDF). The leader of the Patriotic League of Uganda (PLU) and a General in his own rights, Mr. Muhoozi Kainerubaga, the son of the President. That is tweeting like a frantic manchild.

This isn’t the first or the last time that Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine gives Muhoozi sleepless nights, as the shadow of the opposition leader haunt him. Just like the idea of Dr. Kizza Besigye can frighten him too. They are the boogeymen that can unleash venom into his veins, apparently.

This is just magical how these ideas, thoughts and the need for revenge captures the imagination of the First Son of the President. Instead of coming with good reasoning or even solid arguments against his enemies. His instead going for the murder, the killing and the annihilation. That’s the only thing he knows and possesses his mind, his spirit and who he has become.

It is sad that a man of such influence, of such entitlement and arrogance is steeping this low. That he goes to these depts of destruction and lack of character. He should know better, but he has never had those lessons.

The General should be advised, but we know his only surrounded by “Yes-Men” and people looking for easy day-jobs. So, they want to be aligned with him and serve him beyond ordinary means. Because the General and his needs are easily fixed, and they can be seen as loyal cronies of his. That’s what he needs, and he begs for their attention as well. To boost his inflated ego and drive to be the supreme ruler of the Republic.

This man is a brute, a man who is used to using lethal means. That’s why speaks and thinks this way. It is a pattern and nothing new under the sun. Just another day in the life of the General. The man, the non-mythical and nonsensical leader who only got where he is because of birth. Muhoozi wouldn’t be where he is if it wasn’t for his father and everyone knows it. That must hurt a little bit, because it isn’t his character or his knowledge that brought him here. No, he wouldn’t have managed and he would have been a drunken nobody, mechanic or such.

We all know he wouldn’t have reached the hights of Senior Presidential Advisor or the CDF if it wasn’t for his lineage. Neither would he have reached so quickly into the ranks of General. That’s why he cannot phantom the promise and the popularity of Bobi Wine. Because he has support and is beloved by many. Meanwhile, the prestige and the arrogance of Muhoozi isn’t winning people’s hearts.

It is just proven that murder and Bobi Wine is figment of imagination of Muhoozi. He thinks, considers and speaks easily of killing an opponent. There is no joy in this. Only bare-naked threats, that we shouldn’t take to lightly. As this man has no heart or conscience to stop him from doing the unthinkable. If no one stops him or says “no”. This man could do it and we all could see it coming. Peace.
